First Impressions With a Modern Entryway

The entry way in a home is one of my favorite areas to decorate because it's the first and last impression the house leaves on guests. If your entry is welcoming, well-lit and decorated nicely, chances are it will set a lovely, homey tone for your guests.
There are many decorating ideas and options when it comes to a foyer. A nice console table, a pretty chandelier giving off a lot of light in the front of your house, a pair of lamps for accent lighting , an occasional chair (or two!) and a mirror or a piece of art for above the console table always seems to do the trick.
Above, I've created two looks for an entry way, hopefully providing you with some inspiration. If you lean toward the rustic look, the first option with the weathered wood console , sunburst mirror and metallic lamp base might be the look for you.
If you prefer a more contemporary, clean-lined look, the second option might suit you best. A narrow and sleek console table is accented with a pair of dark, gray lamps to contrast, and the look is finished off with a metallic round mirror .
